A very sweet lady, she played the piano at my church “Lost Camp Baptist” as long as I can remember when I was a kid back in the 1960’s. She truly loved the Lord and enjoyed her church.

Loretta was a very special lady in our family’s life. Back in the 70’s she kept my two kids & was more like a grandma to them than a baby sitter. I wish I’d known she lived so close to me. I live in Lebanon. I pray God grants you peace.

My condolences to the family, I just read that Loretta has gone to be with Jesus. She always had a smile, I shall miss knowing it’s not here anymore. God Bless the family
